The U.S. Navy wants to create MHD-drive for submarines and other vehicles.


The MHD (Magnetohydrodynamic drive) is like a particle accelerator or ion cannon that drives ions through the tube or over the submarine's or surface ship's layer. The thing that makes MHD interesting is that the system is silent. The catamaran can be equipped with magnetic accelerators that are between the trunks of the catamaran. In Japan, the test vehicle Yamato 1 reached a speed of 6 knots in tests. There that test vehicle used an MHD drive. 

The U.S. Navy program would be more successful, because the Navy wants to use the MHD in nuclear-powered submarines, and today there are more advanced magnets and superconducting technology that makes the MHD more successful. Nuclear reactors can give far more power than Yamato 1's conventional engines. 






The saucer-shaped airships can cause the UFO-alarms. In those cases, the lights below blimps are meant to warn other aerial vehicles. And there is the possibility that some of them are used to test ion-based stealth or engine systems. If an aerial vehicle uses an ion shell or ion cloud around it, that thing could explain the mysterious shine around those vehicles. 


"Yamato 1 on display in Kobe, Japan. The first working full-scale MHD ship." (Wikipedia/Magnetohydrodynamic drive)


The MHD-type systems can make the ion shell over the aircraft. And that in the shell can turn to ion stealth. If aircraft needs to fly using this kind of system it requires more powerful engines. But ion- or plasma stealth uses similar-looking systems that MHD uses. There is the possibility that some airships or blimps are using the MHD. So that means the MHD-using aerial systems might not be heavier-than-air. 

There are theories that some UFOs are using the MHD or MDD (Magneto dynamic drive). The MDD means that the MHD is not limited to water. Theoretically, it's possible to make magneto dynamic ion-based propulsion where the air will ionize at the front of the aircraft. And then the magnets at the aircraft's wings will pull ions over them. That kind of electromagnetic propeller might be interesting because that allows the making of the ion shell for aircraft. And that in the shell will turn to the ion stealth system. 

But the fact is this the MHD-driven aerial systems might not be heavier than air. The blimps or modern airships can also use ion engines. That means the conventional airship could ionize air at the front of its route, and then the ions will be driven to the back of the airship. The disk-shaped blimp can also ionize the gas in the middle of it. And then the radially installed magnetic accelerators drive ions in the wanted direction. The system might not allow the airship to fly very fast. But it allows it to transfer its position silently without propellers.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible....

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...
